The Grand Finale
At the show’s finale held on October 5, 2025, Imisi secured a whopping 42.8% of the total votes, which was significantly higher than Dede’s 15.94% who came in second place.
Her win saw her join Mercy Eke (2019), Phyna (2022), and Ilebaye (2023) as the women to have won the popular reality TV show.
Following the finale, fans, celebrities, and fellow housemates flooded social media with congratulatory messages, describing her as one of the show’s most deserving winners.
Imisi’s journey to victory
The 23-year-old fashion designer and actress’s journey began with talent auditions held in Lagos, Enugu, and Abuja, stood out from the start with her relatable nature and authenticity.
A worthy winner ! Imisi has given us different storylines , so much controversial talking points stem from her .
I hope those who assume it’s pity game she’s playing can understand that there is so much to her than her background.
Sweet , fierce , and entertaining ❤️ pic.twitter.com/G0xajPIyq6— Call me EMERALD 🤍 (@symplyemerald) September 17, 2025
Imisi presented herself as a young, striving fashion designer chasing her big break. This narrative resonated strongly with a significant portion of the Nigerian public, who saw a reflection of their own struggles and aspirations in her.
While strategy is key to winning Big Brother Naija, authenticity hardly ever fails. Imisi’s unfiltered persona, marked by her witty remarks, playful personality, and “timed nonchalance,” contrasted sharply with housemates perceived as overly strategic, calculated, or concerned with projecting a flawless image. Imisi was celebrated for being fully and genuinely herself.
During her time in the house, she made a name for herself as one who embraces every opportunity to show her true self, and she quickly garnered fans and loyal supporters who stuck by her side and ultimately crowned her the people’s champion.
